I always thought that was ridiculous. The guy gets shot at in every damn comic he's ever been in.

Thor communicated with his spirit a year on but that's the closest we've seem to him returning. Bucky* did take up the shield though, so while Steve Rogers is dead, Captain America continues and I expect a similar thing to happen in Batman.


*Incidentally, Bucky's death used to one of the only ones that was considered permanent.

The Bucky Clause was often said when a hero 'died', "No one in comics stays dead except Bucky, DC Comics' Jason Todd, Spider-Man's Uncle Ben and girlfriend Gwen Stacy".

Since then, only Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy remain dead and Gwen Stacy was cloned. Comics are funny like that.
